Working the Unfriendly Skies
with Diane Tamuk, Pres., Assn. of Flight Attendants,Council 5 (N.Y.)

The standards that flight attendants fought so hard to attain have been eroding for over a decade. Now some airlines are trying to use the bankruptcy courts to tear apart the flight attendants contracts but the
flight attendants' through their union are fighting back threatening a nationwide strike unless their demands are met. Ms. Tamuk spoke at a Conference on the Future of the Labor Movement organized by
Queen College Labor Resource Center.

Social Insecurity Bush Style
with Heather Boushey, Center for Economic and Policy Research &
William Spriggs, Economic Policy Institute

Pres Bush's plan to attack social security by creating private acounts will not only further shred the safety net for the next generation but will create a
mountian of new national debt dangerously destabilizing the Federal Budget, higher interest rates and slower growth rates in the economy.
